What makes sense to you is at odds with the data. If you don't  
understand that there is a difference between opinion and scientific  
findings, then you are out of your league in this discussion.

Consulting previous posts is a way to overcome confusion.

There is a difference between 'brainstorming' and scientific  
investigation. There has been a single data collection of attitudes  
toward cryonics. My reanalysis uncovered what that data mean for the  
promotion of cryonics.

I am not going to waste my time repeating myself or responding to  
attempts to question my motives. Any objection to the results has to  
be an objection to the scientific findings. Other comments will be  
ignored.
